1. Slipknot – “Before I Forget”
This clip is slick. I love the tight shots, which not only obviously serve firstly to hide the identities of the band members, but additionally throw a unique perspective in the mix to what we’re usually offered.
2. Metallica – “The Memory Remains”
I love this clip, it’s just so damn Rock n’ Roll, which was perfect for where they were at. Creative, punchy and fun, can’t ask for more than that.
3. Slayer – “Bloodline”
I was once given some advice that something may have been done already, but it hasn’t been done by you. I like that this clip takes the simple concept of a band playing in a room, keeps the momentum high with the erratic choice of lighting and editing, then adds in an extra element to keep the viewer on their toes.
4. Machine Head – “Ten Ton Hammer”
This clip is pretty trashy, but it somehow works. Gritty and a little bit odd, just like the song. 5. Parkway Drive – The Void These guys have made some pretty cool, creative clips over the years, but this one takes the cake. Everything in this clip is well thought out; lighting, compositions and narrative are all on point. What really pushes it over the edge for me are the transitions. Super abrupt, but with such precision, it keeps the tension and anticipation building throughout each scene. A really impressive cinematic short, pushing the limits of what is capable and expected in the music world.
